The Lakeside Lodging of Breezy Cottages is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its soft-spoken computers, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 1.286 billion Breezy Cottagesians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 56.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Breezy Cottagesian economy, worth 103 trillion Vacation Talers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 80,484 Vacation Talers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts, and bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Breezy Cottages's national animal is the Caught Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Breezy Cottages is ranked 41,605^th in the world and 2^nd in Lake Verinne for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,186.86 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
